New Delhi, October 22, 2025 — A total of 1,480 apprentices have been trained in artificial-intelligence-related roles under the National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme-2 (NAPS-2) between financial years 2023-24 and 2025-26, according to a written reply from the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship. The AI-related trades include roles such as AI-Business Intelligence Analyst, AI-Data Engineer, AI-Machine Learning Engineer, AI-DevOps Engineer, and Python AI Trainee.
This initiative forms part of a broader government push to align apprenticeship training with rapidly evolving sectoral demands, particularly in emerging technology fields. The ministry also cited that simplification of the apprenticeship framework, expansion of optional trades, and integration with AI skilling modules are key components under NAPS-2.
